Πρόκειται για μια εφαρμογή που παρέχει πρόσβαση σε όλα τα of the Linux terminal, contains a basic set of tools, which can be extended using Ubuntu's default package manager. It looks like an Ubuntu virtual machine installed on Windows, like a Linux subsystem. Now imagine if you could run Unity, the default environment of Ubuntu on Windows 10! windows 10 ubuntu

Yes it is possible. Let's see how it can be done.

Before proceeding, you should turn on the Bash for Ubuntu from the Windows settings.1

Then you need to have a third server so that GUI applications can run on Ubuntu on Windows 10. Ubuntu's built-in X Server will not start if you don't install it. A good X Server application for Windows is the app Xming. To install it, follow the steps listed in official webpage.

After installing Xming on Windows 10, follow these steps:.

Open Bash in Ubuntu from the Start menu of Windows 10 and run it in the bash:

echo "export DISPLAY =: 0.0" >> ~ / .bashrc

Edit the file

 /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

This can be done using nano from the console. Type the following:

 nano /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

Find Point:

unix: tmpdir = / tmp

And change it to it:

tcp: host = localhost, port = 0

Press Ctrl + O to save the file and then Ctrl + X to exit nano.

Let's install the Unity and a few utilities:

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop unity compizconfig-settings-manager

Now, type compiz in bash and start Unity after a few seconds!2
